STOCK MARKET
New -York, May 7.- Opening-
Price changes at the outset of today's
market operations reflected, further
irregularity and confusion due in part
to London, where Americans were
heavy. War specialties were not es
pecially prominent, except Bethlehem
Steel, which rose six points to 154,
one. under its retxy-d price. Reading
was the" heaviest of 'the : -railroad
shares although.? coppers, particular
ly Amalgamated and Anaconda, re
acted sharply. United States Steel j
was barely steady while other promi
nent issues moved variably. ,, The list
steadied later and trading became
dull.'. ';,
i Noon. The morning session was
almost the dullest of any day for a
fortnight. . with a continuance of the
uncertain undertone. -Standard stocks
denoted further selling, Reading, Un
ion , pacific and Coppers yielding to
mild pressure. Bethlehem Steel lost
a very small ' part of its gain and
other, specialties of this class rose 1
to 2 ' points, with similar improve
ment in motors and oils. " Mexican
Petroleum rising four points. Lon
don's gloomy view of the war and

deterrent factors. Bonds were ir
